The piece addresses simulation as an attempt to controll desaster. In case
of the TWA flight crash the desaster set of a spur of attempted computer simulation
to give images to the unimaginable.
The crash of Lady Di was at times blamed on Mercedes Benz who is investing
millions in crash simulations to anticipate the desaster and visualize to
its customer the predictability of desaster. THe work then goes on to search
for similar principles in the simulation of cities and urban planning.
